EASTER DAY.

The world itself keeps Easter Day,
For happy birds are singing;
And frvm the earth so cold and gray
The tiay blades arc springing;
The seeds that N their graves have lain
So silently abiding
The hour when spring times sun and rain
Should call them nom their hiding
Now rise again 20 bud and bloom,
And all the earth with gladness;
Gone are the days OF wintrv gloom;
Spring Is no time for sadness.
Each tree and shrub the new life feels
Through every vein warm glowing;
And buds burst forth-the promise sure
or leaves and fruit soon growing;
The little streams-ice bound SO long
Flow onward gaily singing;
Freed from their letters, join their song
With Easter joy-bells ringing.
The Christ is rlsen--as all things tell;
Then let all hearts warm-glowing,
From doubts and sorrows rise as well,
With love and faith o'erfiowing.
Let Hope again rise from the tomb
or earthly griefs and losses;
Lies blossom spring from dust and gloom,
And 0owns are won by crosses.

bly, tremendous, then, must have been
the outburst In the Blaze Star in Corona
so tremendous. in fact, that were the
same event to occur in our own sun, we
are safe to say that every planet in the
system would in an instant be converted
from its present solid state to incandes-
cent vapor.
The only other important temporary
star which has appeared in modern
times was discovered in the constella-
ton of the Swan by Professor Schmidt,
of Athens, on November Fl, 1876; but
as to give any particulars of it would
simply be repeating with slight addi-
tions and differences what we have said
about the star of 1866, we shall con-
clude with few remarks about the
Star which appeared some time ago in
the Andromeda nebula. The andre
media nebula itself is seen as faint,
misty patch, plainly visible on clear
moonless night to the naked eye; almost
in the center of this object the new star
appeared. 1t did not attain any great
brilliancy. for even when brightest it
was not visible to the unaided vision.
As soon as the star appeared the ques-
ton arose. was it situated in the nebula
or between the nebula and usp Had
we not been possessed of the spectre
scope, we should have been unable to
answer that question conclusively.
Spectroscopic examination, however,
showed that the spectrum OF the star
and that of the nebula were similar,
and as the spectrum of the nebula is a
peculiar one, there does not remain the
slightest doubt that they are physically
connected. But the apparition of this
star has conclusively settled one
great astronomical question. A pop
ular theory of stellar nebul@ con-
stantly appearing in textbooks is, that
they are island universes-galaxies
similar to our own situated far out in
space. This theory, though strongly
negatived by evidence, still clings te-
naciously to life. The only nebula which.
strictly speaking, did fall outside of the
evidence was this one in Andromeda;
for, while the spectroscope indicated
that it was composed Of countless stars,
the most powerful telescopes were un-
able to reveal with certainty any OF
these objects. This circumstance, taken
in connection with its great apparent
size, seemed to give some ground for
supposing that it might be universe
similar to our own-though probably
infinitely larger and more complex
situated far out in space. From consid-
erations too lengthy and complex to be
stated here, the appearance of the new
star in the nebula is inconsistent with
such an idea, and proves beyond a
doubt that the nebula itself is situated
within and forms part of our own sys-
tenn. Chambers Journal.

Railroads are now giving preference
to sawed" ties when Obtainable. They
can be transported and handled at less
expense, and make smoother track,
with less labor and less time. Sawed
ties can be made from timber that can
not be utilized for other purposes. This
branch Of industry is proving profitable,

While agresing in general with the
theory that comets have their origin
beyond the limits Of the solar system,
Prof. Daniel Kirkwood finds proof that
some of those Of short period are minor
planets, whose orbits in the asteroid

planets. The third comet Of 1884, for
instance, seems to have been drawn
from the Asteroids by Jupiter in May,
